They bury it.

In 1666, English Naval Administrator and Member of Parliament Samuel Pepys was awoken by his servant, alerting him to a fire in the city of London. This was the beginnings of the Great Fire of London. Pepys began to dig holes, and bury his valuables...including wine and cheese. Props to the dog who found it whilst burying his bone!

They make it out of their own sweat.

Literally. Scientist Christina Agapakis and scent specialist Sissel Tolaas worked together to collect toe jam, belly button fuzz, among other (tears?) bodily bacterias, and used them to produce cheese. The results are on exhibit at the Science Gallery in Dublin. I don’t think we’re ready for this jelly.

They try to poison their families over it.

In May 2013, a North Carolina woman tried to poison five families for not sharing cheese with her. Can you blame her? (ok, maybe a little drastic)

They buy it all. All of it.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic has bought what is possibly the world's entire supply of donkey cheese for 2013, according to the Daily Mail. Maybe this is the secret to his game?

Cheese Heads vs. Graterheads… Who wins?
Everyone, that’s who. Everyone wins in the name of one of the greatest sports rivalries in sports history. And everyone wins when cheese is involved. Get yours here at www.yankeehollow.com.

Origin

CHEESE: Cheese heads first appeared in 1987, at a baseball game no less. Chicago White Sox vs. Milwaukee Brewers. Cheese heads was being used as an insult against Brewer’s fans. Way to own it, Wisco! Sox fans...you should have known better than mess with the team during the Yount-Molitor era.

GRATER: Graterheads first appeared on Monday, November 4th 2013.

WIN: Cheese Head for being the original. It took Bear’s fans 26 years to come up with this. That's older than anyone who is watching the game in a Wrigleyville bar on Sunday.

Instructions
Freeze the goat cheese for 20 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp paring knife or dental floss to slice the goat cheese into 1/2-inch rounds or dip a paring knife into warm water and wipe off between cuts.
Set up a dredging station by adding both the bread crumbs and egg to separate shallow bowls. Dredge the goat cheese rounds by first dipping in egg and then coating with bread crumbs, using your hands to pat the crumbs on. Set on a cutting board or platter lined with parchment and freeze 20 minutes.
Make the dressing:
Whisk the honey, vinegar and mustard together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Alternately you can pulse everything together in a food processor.
Fry the cheese:
After 20 minute heat a heavy-bottomed skillet with enough oil to generously coat the bottom on medium heat.
Pan fry the goat cheese rounds on both side until golden brown about 4 - 5 minutes each.
Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
Serve over the romaine and radicchio drizzled with dressing and garnished with nuts. Add a few fresh berries if you like.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until fragrant.

Add 1 1/4 cup chicken broth, canned pumpkin, low-fat milk and the Siracha. I like my sauce to be thick, but feel free to add more chicken broth (up to 2 cups) if you want a thinner sauce. Sprinkle the nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached.

While the sauce is simmering, heat the pre-cooked apple chicken sausage (I like the Trader Joe’s Smoked Apple, Chardonnay, Chicken Sausage) until warm.

Add the sliced chicken sausage and pumpkin sauce to rigatoni. Toss and top with freshly shaved Parmesan and garnish with sage.

Method:
Preheat oven to 350
Add bacon to a medium pot and and cook on medium heat
Once fat from bacon starts to coat the bottom of your pot add in you red onion, red pepper and jalapeno and let sweat for a few minutes
Toss in garlic, stir and sweat for about 30 seconds and then pour in the quinoa and let that toast for about 30-45 seconds
Pour in your water, stir and let simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes
Add milk and let everything cook for another 5 minutes or so – you don’t want your quinoa to be overcooked and mushy – should be soft but still have a bit of a bite to it
Season with salt and pepper to taste – start slow and add more after you add cheese if you think you need it
Combine Greek yogurt and paprika in a bowl then add to pot and stir
Throw in the most of the Monterey Jack cheese (leave a little bit behind for topping), stir and remove from heat
Add in cilantro and about 1/2 of your green onions and stir
Spray the bottom of a casserole dish with cooking spray – I found that a square 9×9 dish worked great for this
Tear up your corn tortillas and place at the bottom of casserole dish
Add the cheesy quinoa deliciousness over top and fill the dish
Top with rest of cheese and tortilla chip crumbles
Bake for 30 minutes
Serve garnished with a little extra green onions on top

Start by cutting a soft cheese that melts easily (like Velveeta) into 1 ounce squares. Using the 4 ounce lines on the cheese package, I cut 4 ounce slices of cheese and cut each of them into four 1 ounce pieces. Place the cheese squares in the freezer for at least one hour or until frozen. This step is VERY important!
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Mix together Italian style bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
Melt butter in a small bowl.
Remove the cheese squares from the freezer.
Flatten biscuits and place a cheese square on each one.
Wrap the biscuit dough around the frozen cheese and pinch the edges together to seal well.
Dip in the melted butter and coat with the bread crumb mixture.
Place in a greased pie pan with the seam down.
Bake at 425°F for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.

Why a wedge?

That cheese was made as a wheel – so its shape is a wedge, or pie shaped.

Try a slicer or a wire.

If your cheese is sticking or crumbling when trying to cut, try a different tool. Cheese slicers and wires are great for thin, solid slices.

Chip away at the hard stuff.

For hard cheeses like parmesan, use a small knife with a short handle. Make sure it's sharp – and "chip" away at small slices. This will create flakes!

Use a knife with holes.

The holes in the knife prevent the cheese from sticking. Use this type of knife with cheeses that have a high moisture content, or are really "sticky".

1) The medium holes, the ones with the edge that cuts at the bottom of the grater/shredder, are used for most shredding.
2) The small holes, the ones with the cutting edge on the top, are also used for shredding, but for when you want a smaller grate. Do not use these if you&#39;re using a really sticky piece of cheese though...they&#39;ll get stuck!
3) The protruding holes that are sharp all around are your all purpose, get it done quickly shredder. Also known as the knuckle shredder.

The citizens of Pawnee love cheese. A lot. In honor of this week’s Season 6 premiere, we’ve put together the 9 best cheese moments from the show.

Ron, establishing early he would rather the government be privatized.

Season 1, Pilot:

Ron: "I’ve been quite open about this around the office: I don’t want this parks department to build any parks, because I don’t believe in government. I think that all government is a waste of taxpayer money. My dream is to have the park system privatized and run entirely for profit by corporations, like Chuck E. Cheese. They have an impeccable business model. I would rather work for Chuck E. Cheese."

Burly delivers Andy the cold, hard truth.

Season 5, Episode 21: “Swing Vote”

Andy: “I was just over at the bar, enjoying a wonderful night with my co-workers, who all talked about how awesome I was, and I looked up and what do I see? My band. But you’re missing something like, uh, I don’t know, your lead singer-slash-song writer-slash-t-shirt designer-slash-nacho chef. What’s up?!"
Burly: “First of all your nachos are terrible. No one’s had the guts to tell you. Why don’t you melt the cheese?”

Tom's place is girl heaven.

Season 4, Episode 19: “Live Ammo”

Ann: “He’s deeply in debt, but you know what, who cares! Check it out, cheese plate and Adriatic figs! Leslie, this is always here! I don’t know when he has time to make it!”

Andy's bucket list is spot on.

Season 4, Episode 6: “End of the World”

Andy: “Catch a winning Super Bowl touchdown! Make the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich EVER! Remake 'Kazaam' with Shaquille O'Neal but this time "get it right"! Outrun a hippo! Scoff at people as they walk by your seat in first-class! “
